Union Cooperation Minister Amit shah has informed the Parliament that there is no need for the establishment of a cooperative university in the country and the government may consider any institution that is keen to take a lead in this regard. In his written reply, the Minister said that setting up a cooperative university is required to firmly deepen the foundations of the cooperative movement in the country.
"If any institution interested in the cooperative sector comes forward to take lead for the creation of such a university, the same may be considered," Shah said.
The minister further said the government has received requests for the establishment of cooperative universities, including converting Pune-based Vaikunth Mehta National Institute of Cooperative Management (VAMNICOM) into a cooperative university.
